Read time: 1 minute
Before providing patient care, it is essential that regulated members establish effective professional relationships with patients. These relationships are the foundation of person-centred care, and when properly developed and maintained enable effective communication, collaboration, and transparency.
ACP has created a new Advice to the Professions that outlines what you need to know about professional relationships, including
- how they support person-centred care,
- who is permitted to form them,
- how clear communication helps to build them,
- what barriers can prevent or damage them, and
- what special considerations apply to them in virtual care environments.
